Downloaded the desktop IDE for linux ( Fedora ), but none of my menu items display. Neither the dropdown menus/options from popups.
Anyone have any idea how to fix this?
P.S. None of the categories match my problem, but I'm sure someone will move it to the proper category. Thanks.
I would suggest deleting it and reloading it. Also be sure to set dialout, it is in the instructions, then you have to reboot. Do this after updating your system.

Hi @carljoans . I think you will find the explanation for the problem as well as the solution here:
opened 04:08PM - 10 Jan 21 UTC
Type: Bug
OS: Linux
Component: IDE user interface
Arduino 1.8.13 (using your Software Download) was working ok until I did an Arch… system upgrade. See screenshot below. The options are there, but not visible. If I click on "Open", for example, and blindly follow down and click on something - a sketch will open.
I did a system downgrade (rollback) using the Arch Archive to the previous upgrade date, and the IDE worked correctly again. I don't know which package(s) caused the problem as there were 124 packages upgraded after a 3-week interval (remiss of me). So, I brought my system back up-to-date and tried something else:
In the IDE download folder there is a folder named 'java'. I renamed it to something different and launched the IDE - everything working ok. **This is my solution for now.**
Being curious, I also installed the Arch Arduino 1:1.8.13-2 package using pacman package manager . I note that the 'arduino' folder /usr/share/arduino does not contain a folder 'java'. I prefer to use your Arduino Software, so I will stay with that.
I have another machine running Archlinux, it behaved the same way as above.
You may not consider this to be an arduino.cc issue, but I just wanted to make you aware.
OS: Archlinux 64-bit
Desktop: LXQt
Java Environment: java-14-openjdk
